The Solar Plexus Chakra is located in the upper abdomen above the belly button.
Also known as the Manipura Chakra, it is the third of the seven primary chakras. It sits between the Sacral Chakra in the lower abdomen and the Heart Chakra located in the chest.
It is associated with the color yellow (sometimes you see it referred to as the Yellow Chakra) and the element fire.
The Significance of the Solar Plexus Chakra Location
Due to its location in the human body, the Solar Plexus Chakra is connected to the organs and bodily functions that take place in the abdomen. If you have a Solar Plexus Chakra imbalance, you might experience issues with:
- Stomach
- Intestines
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Spleen
- Pancreas
- Adrenal glands
The Solar Plexus is sometimes associated with the Celiac Plexus block which is a scientific term for the group of nerve endings in our stomach.
The location of the Solar Plexus Chakra also gives us a clue about its emotional and spiritual significance. It’s not only at the center of our physical body, but it is also the center of our personal power and ego.
When you have an imbalanced Solar Plexus Chakra, you might:
- Be lacking in confidence
